NOTATIONS ON B. S. STOMONYA­KOV'S RADIOTELEGRAM
OF AUGUST 8.

[August 11, 1921]

The most essential materials for the Kashira Station, namely the insulators, have been ordered and will be shipped at the end of August with the exception of a small portion, which will be sent in the first half of September. The delivery periods for all other materials are from three to four months, as no factory can manufacture them sooner. For the electric locomotives the period is around six months. We are doing everything possible to reduce all the periods. The entire work is being conducted on an emergency basis by Starkov¹ and myself. August 5, 1921. Stomonya­kov².  2250
